Ren'Py - Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5091] [Kompas Productions]

Honestly, I really enjoyed my time with this game.
These is so much to do, many different paths to take and there is definitely a lot of content her. The mini-games are to cumbersome as well, which is always a pleasant bonus.
At wont point, my game got stuck on a loop, I completed a story and the next day the game made me do the final mission again because it didn't remember I had done it.
Loading a previous save fixed that issue.

Pioneer. Can't really put it like anything else, everything is just really good. The atmosphere that the game has in general is precious, delicately well made, characters, music, writing. Don't hesitate and try it out because it's an unique experience. Recommended for people just starting out with lewd games, it introduces you into this world really well.

This is a very bipolar game... and it is a game, in a true sense... but it's a lazy mobile type game with incredible grind and very sketchy and uneven mechanics for each minigame... some are super easy... some impossibly hard (the music game is touchy as hell- same with basketball). But these games break whatever spell the story might have had as you fumble with unclear mechanics and walkthrough Google searches....

And at times the story does have charm. At times it's funny. At times it's touching. And some of the characters win you over and you root for their storyline and success. But this is very scattershot, throughout. Some of the intimate scenes are well done with good buildup. But ultimately it's all cheap and passionless in the end when you realize there is no real consequence to anything.

Midway when advancing with a character the game warns you "choices have consequences" but they really don't. You can bed everyone... have relationships with them all... and they never come into conflict with each other. The few times when outside characters are involved in a romantic subplot, it's free-wheeling good times for all... no one cares or is jealous.

And when you've reach the end of a storyline for each main character, that's it. You've won them as a girl friend and the remaining interaction you have with them is to just visit them whenever and revisit the same sex scene you had with them last.

It's a decent little game... but a very poor visual novel. It squanders whatever emotional attachment you get with any character with a childish base conclusion.

A real big problem this game has is the story is all over the place. If you somehow manage to get further along with particular characters than their side stories (very easy to do--probably impossible to avoid even in a perfect walkthrough), things get wonky with the narrative. Say you just beat the jock in the hallway, well, now you visit him at the park and he bullies you again. The game is all over the map with remembering key events because the game exists in different realities... there is the main quest for each character, but there is also side quests where they don't remember the state of the main quests. It breaks any immersion, and this game was already lacking in that department going in.

The animations and drawing is well done, in a Playboy cartoon type way... it's quality work. But I'm not sure how hot it is... it's funnier than hot. Very few animations or artwork in this did anything to arouse me. Some of the writing did, at times... but that spell was broken easily by the format of the game... the time of day and the limited number of actions often breaks the narrative flow of whatever you were dealing with.

There's a bit of humor in some of the characters and dialog. It has a lot of pop culture references that I assume contribute to it's higher rating and the success of the author in crowd sourcing.... but to me, at times, it felt like pandering. These work best when left ambiguous and unexplained (the Breakfast Club detention scene was well done) and don't work at all when on-the-nose and obvious... I'm looking at you, Keanu...

I also think the MC is kinda weak... at time's he is thoughful and caring... sometimes he provides insight... especially with regards to Roxxy and Eve in their early storylines... but most of the time he is just a raging boner walking through life oblivious as women fling themselves at his schlong. There was zero self-identifying with this guy. Not even when I think back to how highschool was... he has no discernible personality. And in regards to the early storylines of Eve and Roxxy, both are treated almost serious with their life situations and history... you read their history and you begin to care for them... but this goes out the window right away and they are again reduced to cartoon bimbos wanting a good lay. And then when you start dealing with the teachers and some of the other stories that are outlandishly childish and lack any basis in reality, it makes you feel dumb for having felt anything in the brief moments this takes narrative seriously... It's schizophrenic, emotionally. Frustrating.

THERE IS NO BACK BUTTON. This bothered me immensely... you MUST continuously save your game, before mini games, before choices, when you wake in the morning... before u sleep... just all the time. I'm pretty sure they left this out to "make choices matter"... but it was more annoying than anything. The sheer ton of mundane dialog in some scenes get's you clicking fast through dialog and then you miss something, want to go back, but you can't... or what about if you happened to enjoy a particular piece of art... gotta reload everything. Hopefully you saved 20 seconds ago...

In short: this is all over the place... It gives you a ton to do, but it's all ultimately pointless, frustrating, and soulless. The flaws far outweigh the good.

My first and favorite adult game, Actually this game was the reason I got here. After searching for some news I got here

Positive points:
-The story is interesting and mysterious, to make you always not enough from play to know more.

-Script writing and events are very convincing and satisfying " Not fast or slow ".

-Character, design and personality really good, i loved everyone girl or milf ' until now'.

-Sex scenes and animation are also very good. Erotic sometimes and romantic other times.

Negative points:

- Updates always take long time.

- Some update are also short.

- Going slow to uncover mystery.

After all, the game is really great and I RECOMMEND it VERY much.

One of the best games out there by far. Not only the art is very good and has a very unique style, but the story is one of the best parts of it. Highly recommended and I hope to see it completed one day.

Of all the games on this site, this was the one that made me hard and also got me laughing at the same time. It's a funny, sexy, kinky adventure story that should be an instant classic, even in the non-porn game world. The writing and art reminds me of the classic point-and-click games like Monkey Island and Broken Sword. The dialogs are spot on, witty, and very believable. The MC is lovable, the girls are cute, and the sex animations are just right. And the minigames are fun to play and not at all a tedious chore. Try it out, and you'll love it.

Among the best games of this type that I've played.
The art style is great.
The story so far (0.19.5) is good and I'm looking forward to see how it evolves.
the mechanics are grade A.
Only thing I'd like to be added is a hint system for the cookie jar.
I never actually managed to fill the jar.

Definitely a very good game. Plot, graphics, performance. Changing the musical challenge in the park is a big simplification. Engaging characters reminiscent of those from the real world is an interesting idea. I look forward to the next updates.

I enjoyed Sumertime Saga quite a bit. The art was good, the writing reasonable, and I enjoyed a lot of the plot lines. I do think there are some buggy triggers and situations that make the game a bit of a drag in places. I definitely got stuck on a couple of girls on various storylines.

easily my most visited game
I'm always excited to see where the MC can go next, and see how the story develops.
Amazing artwork, story telling, UI, and overall world of the game.
its a no brainier to give it a try

So I've recently jumped into this genre when I found out there's a ton of lewd games out there after finding this forum mentioned on reddit. Summertime saga was heavily recommended all over the place as so I thought I should definitely give it a whirl ... but I do not get the appeal... especially now having played a ton of other better games.

So lets get the pro out of the way first. It's super well polished ... the UI, art, everything like that is on point.

However. It's just real boring. You spend ages, and I mean aaaaages running around doing mindless boring tasks and minigames slowly getting to the point where you can have some smut with the characters of your choosing ... but then there's not actually that many scenes or different stuff you can do with them ... also add in the fact that when you knock them up (and as someone who's well into impregnation you better believe I put a baby in everyone) then it actually locks you out of a bunch of stuff...

Maybe I'm being too hard on it, like I'll keep my save and check back when the game is finished and hope I've got all the boring stuff out of the way ... like I am curious what the hell is going on with the men in suits lurking around... but I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone... if someone wants smut then there's not nearly enough of it, and if someone just wants a fun game to play then there's plenty of them out there with more entertaining gameplay loops.

So, I have been a Cookie addict patreon (20$ tier) for close to a year now, just passed 11 months, and I have to say I really love the game. The art is unique and a lovable story with a great cast of characters, a bit for everyone I feel, pretty much anyone. You have a ton of choices and possibility’s, fun eastereggs and even the possibility to pop out a couple of kids! It also has many great game mechanics, with minigames to lvl up your stats and such.

This is the most content-filled game I've played on this site and definitely worth the time. Played for hours at a time, especially before re-usable saves and it never felt like a grind. There is also a wide variety of romance paths and kinks, so enjoy.

Straight up my favorite adult game. Great art, fun quests and tons of content. What more could you ask for? The newer pregnancy story lines are not my particular thing, but I feel like they're leading somewhere.

I forgot that i can rate this game. oopsie. So let me say this again: This game truly deserves it's tag of a game. It is ecually fun as it is hot and spicy. I found myself laughing, yes laughing! from time to time and totally forgot to jerk off just because this game is so fun, so cute and has such a high quality i just don't want to call it just a porn game. The Story might not be the newest but it's wrapped inside so many little stories that are interesting and exciting to figure out. Thanks for this little gem, really.

One of my all time favorite games. Another review describes it as the perfect teenage dream and I agree with that. Light-hearted, funny, with plenty of routes and a wide variety of girls from which to pick your favorites.

My only critique is that some of the routes are really short and some of the girls only have a few scenes. However, the game is still being developed, with future content still coming, so for now I'll still give it 5/5 stars.

My most favorite game of all. it is filled with pure content and amazing story. animations are well made, so man characters to interact, good quality incest and clean H scenes, so many cool mini games, Pregnancy system and secrets.

I have to say, having followed this project for over a year now, I'm very disappointed with the progress I've seen and the slow pace of updates. The actual story of the game has been set to the sidelines and ignored by the developer completely. Every other "large" update seems to be mostly focused on reworking an already established part of the game with maybe a couple new scenes thrown in to appease the masses. Then when there is some exciting content focused updates, they get half-assed in some way. For example, the pregnancy update. Sure now you can get characters pregnant, but doing so stops your progress with those characters and you can't even fool around with them while they are pregnant. Some characters you can, but its just scenes that were mistakenly not disabled by the pregnancy flag, since in those scenes they aren't pregnant. Also, with the way the game is coded it is very easy to cause bugs and to jumble up the story line and having events happen out of turn. With the time between updates, this game should have way more content per update, especially considering its a 2d game with "animations" of maybe 4-8 frames. I've seen 3d games with smooth animations release more content per week than this game gets per large update. Here's hoping the developer can salvage this game, but for me, the writing is on the wall, and it says "big brother".

This game the perfect teenage dream. It was realy felt good to play. All character nice or charismatic. Game is sometimes funny. Artwork is beautiful and gameplay is smooth. Writing is also great and the world of the game is very addictive. Top quality fun.
